“getting people suckered in when they’re young so that they don’t bring up some difficult questions when they grow up.”
Thank, Pikachu. You’ve just emphasized on of my biggest complaints about religion. It’s like the mites or fleas present at the hatching of baby birds. The birds never have a chance to get rid of the pests when they are present at birth and stay on the bird through life.
Eventually we tell our kids, if they haven’t already figured it out, that there really is no tooth fairy or Santa Claus. When we feed them our superstitions as fact with room for doubt, it cripples their rationality.
I think it’s a horror, too.
Haven’t had my coffee yet. Should have read...
